I welcome the opportunity to discuss the establishment of this commission of investigation. Several of the questions I had intended to put to the Minister have already been asked and answered by Deputy Collins and the Minister. My questions relate to what effect this commission of investigation will have on the civil matter which, presumably, is still before the courts. The Minister remarked that the case is on hold. Will the Minister outline to the committee the practical effect of this investigation?
